...that's how I imagine it feels every time someone glances at Greer, who is instantly judged for her appearnce before anyone gets the chance to actually know her. Despite that assumption, Greer does everything she can to feel empowered by as "assessets," but feels just as comfortable in her anonymity at school.l

"My Eyes are Up Here" seems to be the exact approach needed to make feminism accessible to teens and young adults, in a digestible language and scenarios. Within the first chapters, I was already laughing at loud at Maude and Mavis, but especially Greer's relationship with them - a bit uncomfortable, but accepting of them as they way they are. Intrustive, attention-hogs, and distracting, that is.
